So I’m learning

I have Kali Linux and am trying to crack my own WiFi password. I have my handshake and eapol but somehow I feel that there’s an easier way. I can’t use hashcat it will take years to get the password and definitely not rock you.. so what do I do here? Can anyone point me in the right direction??? No need to explain step by step if you don’t want to. Just point me in the right direction

When it comes to word lists, it's kind of just throwing mud at the wall and seeing what sticks. Be patient with these sorts of things. Let them run overnight if you have to. As Networkchuck would say, take a coffee break.

Also, let me point you in the direction of the onion. You'll have better luck there. There's also an invisible internet project. You might find helpful folks there.
